HYDERABAD: The Telangana American Telugu Association (TATA) has advised the community to avoid communicating in Telugu in public places in the US.
Srinivas Kuchibhotla (32), working at the Garmin headquarters in Olathe, was killed in the shooting at a restaurant in Kansas on Wednesday night. Another Indian and his colleague Alok Madasani was injured in the incident.

"Much as we love talking in our mother tongue, it can often be misconstrued. Please see if you can communicate in English in public places," the association said in a statement put out in its Facebook page.

The organisation further advised people not to get into argument with others in public places and leave the place immediately without confrontation.
"Isolated places can often be targets. Please avoid going or going single," it said.

Sarvi,

Is US as dangerous as say, Gurgaon?

Days after the Kansas shooting, another Indian-origin businessman has been shot dead outside his home in South Carolina on Thursday night.

Indian communities living in the area are in a state of shock and fear more such attacks in near future.

His store was close to the Sheriff's office and deputies often frequented the store.

Faile said on TV that Patel was a "great family man" and a friend.
The station said that Patel was survived by his wife and child in elementary school, who were at home when he was killed.

People had created an impromptu shrine outside Patel's Speed Mart store by leaving balloons and flowers in his memory, the station said. A sign on door read, "Store closed for few days because of family emergency. Sorry for the inconvenience."

A tearful customer, Nicole Jones, told the station that when someone didn't have money, Patel gave them food. "I would have no idea who would do this to him as good as he is to everybody," she said.
A store employee, Keira Baskin, said that he only wanted the best for his employees and his family.

On Thursday night a woman called the police and said that she heard screaming and gunshots and when sheriff's deputies arrived there they found Patel dead from apparent gunshot wounds a few feet from his house, WBTV reported.

Police found two shell casings at the crime scene. A police dog could not pick up any scent to follow from there, WSOCTV reported.

Sikh man shot at in the US; attacker yelled 'go back to your own country'

NEW YORK: A 39-year-old Sikh man in the US has been injured when an unidentified person shot him outside his home and allegedly shouted "go back to your own country."
The Sikh man was working on his vehicle outside his home in the city of Kent in the Washington state on Friday when he was approached by a stranger, who walked up to the driveway, the Seattle Times reported.

Kent police said an argument broke out between the two men, with the victim saying the suspect made statements to the effect of "go back to your own country." The unidentified man then shot him in the arm.

The victim described the shooter as a six-foot-tall white man, wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face.
Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said while the Sikh man sustained "non life-threatening injuries", they are "treating this as a very serious incident."

Kent police have launched an investigation into the case and reached out to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, the report said.
"We're early on in our investigation," Thomas said.
Kent Police Commander Jarod Kasner said the incident is getting attention from the Sikh community and others.

"With recent unrest and concern throughout the nation this can get people emotionally involved, especially when (the crime) is directed at a person for how they live, how they look," Kasner said.

While I think what is happening is wrong, I wouldn't have any empathy if this strikes fear in the hearts of those mofos who sit in US and bad mouth everything about India. I have seen that most such bad mouthing assholes were probably bhikari losers in India

Have been to many bars in small places in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky .. all bars were full of rednecks.. never had any issues. I only know of sardars having issues.. most of the other violence I heard of was because you hung around in bad areas at late night.

Sorry but I don't agree with the widow of the deceased person, that good things happen to good people. I don't know how to explain it.. crazy mofos are everywhere. If you sense something weird get the F out of there.

I've had many arguments with Americans in bars in Kentucky and Arizona, some were heated ones.

White guy says to me.. you came to study here and will steal our technology and take to your country.
I said to him.. your technology must not be too great to teach everything in 2 years, and even if so, why your people letting me in?
He didn't say anything about that .. except because of your people I lost my job.. I told him I applied for a job saying I need visa to work and company hired me. He finally moved away realizing I wasn't buying his arguments.

One bugger called me and couple friends slumdogs at a bar in Arizona, he had watched that shitty movie Slumdog Millionaire. I told him I am more educated than all of your family put together.. he apologized later and bought us shots.

Avoid it, no matter how much sense you make.

Hawa ka rukh abhi kuch teeq nahi hai. American Akhlaaqs should not get into heated argument with White Gauboys.

The shot part was not good. Go back to your own country tak teeq hai. For the last 3 years sabka saat sabka vikas ho raga hai, not a bad place to return. Trust me, India is doing vikas on daily basis. Contrary to popular belief, the recent GDP figure is not photoshopped.

Indians are mistaken with muslims/islamic and hence the target of hate crimes. Muslim ideology is hitting us at home, hitting us abroad. Need to educate world audience that we have nothing to do with this culture/ideology, in fact Indians have been suffering because of it.

Chutiyatic article written by a novice while making personal attack on somebody who faced a racial tirade. What has supporting Modi gotta do with facing a racist verbal abuse.. really stretching the limits of imagination.
